| | Password at startup Hi, I have just installed Windows Live Mail as my mail client to manage my hotmail accounts on my desktop. I have found that I don't need to sign in or enter a password when I start up Windows Live Mail. Is there a way I can set a password, or sign in requirement at start up so that anyone using my PC can't just start it up and see my mail? Any help is appreciated! Thanks! |

| | Re: Password at startup Not in WLM, but you can set a password on your Vista login account. If others use your computer, create a separate login account for them, so they don't use yours. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Mark S" <Mark S@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:B71C6D5C-EB2D-4E01-9827-2D1604306C70@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I have just installed Windows Live Mail as my mail client to manage my > hotmail accounts on my desktop.

| | Re: Password at startup Hi Mark, When signing in, did you select "remember password"? I was using my hotmail account to sign in with and I did not have to enter a password. I switched my sign in ID over to an Office Live Business account then I had to sign in every time because I do not want a cookie with that password on it.
